The German army encountered tenacious resistance when attacking Oslo, the capital of Norway.∈↗

The 5th Battle Group landed smoothly in Tensberg. Under the order of Gisling, the Norwegian defenders of Tensberg did not resist at all. With the cooperation of pro-Germany Gisling elements, the 5th Austro-Hungarian Mountain Hunter quickly landed ashore at the port and occupied this important port city.

The aircraft carrier Lun, which is vulnerable to attack, was left in Tensberg outside the narrow bay of Oslo, and Lieutenant General Kumetz led the battleships of the USS Germany, the Marquis of Bismarck and the USS Emden, the Breslau light cruiser and six destroyers to Oslo for an "declaration of force".

According to the information provided by the Oslo Embassy, ​​Gislin's subordinates have controlled the Oslo port and the embassy has sent personnel to prepare to welcome Kumetz's arrival at the dock.

With the battleship "Germany" as the pioneer, the German fleet swaggered into the narrow Bay of Oslo.

"Left rudder 3, speed 12!" In the flagship commander Talis, Captain Heinrich Votag, the captain of the German ship, stared at the dark sea in front of him, and ordered the warships to start slowing down carefully. Since it was still dark in Nordic times, all warships were on their searchlights, and the Germans did not think that the weak Norwegian navy dared to attack them, and they were very relaxed in their guard.

Under normal circumstances, the naval commander would never easily sail into the other party's bay in the dark, especially in a narrow bay like Norway that is simply unable to move and cannot avoid after being attacked. The German Command believes that Norway will not resist at all and hopes that the fleet will enter Oslo before dawn, so he ordered the fleet to take risks in action at night.

"When we went to find three ships, they wanted to stop us from entering the narrow bay of Oslo, General!" Several blurred black shadows appeared on the sea in front. While the radar communications officer reported this to Lieutenant General Kumetz, the searchlights on the warship had shone at the target, and the outline of the other party could be roughly distinguished in the telescope - a minecraft ship with a non-water volume of about 1,000 tons, a gunboat with a displacement of about 500 tons and a whaling ship with artillery installed.

The Norwegian Navy's mine-branch raised a flag-tongued signal, and the Moors-Ming light signal kept flashing.

"What do they want to do?" said Lieutenant General Kumetz.

"This is Norway, Norway, the sea, please leave immediately, and leave this water domain, otherwise, it will be regarded as an enemy, against action!" The signal officer read out the other party's light signal word by word.

"My God. Are the Norwegians trying to stop us?" Kumetz said, "Tell them to give up resistance immediately, they have been captured!"

The muzzles of several giant ships were slowly moving, aiming at Norwegian ships about two nautical miles ahead.

The Germans sent light signals to the other party and also issued a flag saying that they would surrender.

"My God, they seem to have fired torpedoes, oh, they're firing!"

With a few violent explosions, several fireballs rose from the bow and bridge of the ship. At such a short combat distance, the direct shooting of the artillery can be said to be 100%. Fortunately, there were not many cannons on the Norwegian ships.

"Fire!" Lieutenant General Kumetz's face turned pale. Although the Norwegian artillery would not cause any substantial damage to giant warships like the "Germany", being hit by the enemy's small warship was enough to make him lose face and burn out in anger.

The main guns, secondary guns, and even small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the Germans opened fire together. Fires were drawn from the sea, and the main guns deviated from the shooting target far away. On the contrary, various anti-aircraft guns kept hitting the target. Before the main gun was ready for a second shooting, three Norwegian ships were fired into balls of fire. The warships exploded and soon disappeared onto Shaoqingtong.

The Norwegians paid the price for their overestimation, but Kumetz had a premonition that his trip to Oslo would not be very smooth.

The fleet continued to advance, and the torpedo boats that followed the brigade to search and salvage Norwegian sailors who fell into the water. Under such a fierce fire attack, it was actually difficult for anyone to survive.

The sky was already bright, and the sky in the east was dyed orange by the brilliant morning glow. The German fleet sailed into the vicinity of the Oscar Fortress, which was less than 30 kilometers away from Oslo.

The Oscar Fortress is located on the narrowest part of the Oslo Fjord. It is located near the Hurricane of Oslo, the capital of Norway. Because the water flows in the fortress, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Norwegian army has heavy troops here. The entire defensive system is based on the fortress, and uses 280mm artillery and 150mm artillery cross-configuration to form a firepower net. On the North Cahom Island on the north side of the fortress, the Norwegian army also deployed a 6-barrel torpedo launch position.

The Oscar Fortress has three turrets equipped with 280mm Krupp Fortress guns, each with a 36-man fortress artillery guard. Since Norway did not actively organize defense, no one of the fortresses was stationed. However, these fortress guns were all products before World War I and had a slow firing rate. Lieutenant General Kumetz did not think they would cause them much trouble, so he decided to force himself to break into this coastal defense fortress.

The German warship was within the range of direct aiming and strikes of several fortress guns. With a rumbling gun, the silence in the narrow bay was broken. The German USS. was hit by several shells one after another, and a fire broke out on the deck. Seeing the shore artillery position fired, the German fleet fought back while turning to the right toward North Cahom Island.

The Norwegians installed a triple-mounted coastal torpedo launcher on North Cahom Island, which the Germans did not expect. Seeing the German fleet leaning towards their own direction, the torpedo soldiers defending on the island pressed the torpedo launch button. The three torpedoes headed straight for the "Germany" with a white trail.

Because he could not turn in the narrow bay, the German USS Delhi was hit with two torpedoes, and the German flagship was immediately hit hard.

The Norwegians also had a ball of fire on the fortress positions, and several shore defense guns quickly silenced. Under the suppression of German naval guns, the Norwegians quickly abandoned their positions and fled. The Germans occupied the entire fortress, which annoyed Lieutenant General Kumetz that the "Germany" was severely damaged. He had no choice but to order the "Bismarck" to open the way in front, while the injured "Germany" staggered to the end of the fleet.

Lieutenant General Kumetz ordered the troop transport ships to go ashore at the Oscar Fortress and marched to Oslo by land, and his own fleet supported them. The landing troops surrounded the Norwegian shore artillery positions from both wings. The Norwegians did not expect the German army to come, and the artillery positions with weak guard power were quickly broken through. The obstacles on the way forward were pulled out, and the German ships successfully assaulted the fjord again.
